A/n: YAY! I UPDATEDD! Yipeeeee…Yes, so anyway.

Disclaimer for this chapter…and…last chapter: No, I don't own Naruto…Psh.


Iruka was usually a morning person. Usually. But today, for the first time in years, he was late. A whole hour late, to be exact.

Iruka figured it be another bad day.

Now, at school, all he wanted to do was curl up somewhere and die. Something I'm sure all of you have felt…

Now, add thirty screaming children to that. Yeah. Exactly.

Finishing the last of his fifth coffee that morning, and stood up to greet his class, in hopes of NOT strangling anyone of them.

"Oh god…"

After class was over, thank goodness, Iruka was, if possible, way more exhausted than before. Very slowly, he packed up his books, and threw his bag over his shoulder, wanting nothing more than to go home and crawl into bed…with hopefully no interruptions.

Facing the window, he adjusted the strap on his bag, and turned around just as slowly.

He wished he didn't.

He stared frustratingly at—you guessed it, Kakashi. "What do you want?"

The silver haired man raised an eyebrow, "Besides you?"

Iruka exhaled loudly through his nose and crossed his arms over his chest. "Would you just go away?"

"No."

He groaned loudly…Wait…idea. Ha. Ha. "Actually, Kakashi?"

The man glanced at him. "Yes?"

Iruka smiled. "Lately I've been feeling a bit under the weather, and I think that tomorrow I might just have to take a day off…Do you think you could do something for me tomorrow?"

Kakashi's eye curved. "Anything."

Iruka smiled wider, 'Sucker'. "Would you mind terribly if I asked you to take my class for a day?"

His eye widened. "Wha-me? Ahh, yes, but…you see…"

"Surely team seven wouldn't mind just a day off, from all the training you've been running them through on a daily basis…"

The jounin scratched his head. "…I have some…ehh…reading I need to catch up on…Yes, reading…"

"Oh yes, that reminds me…I think you left a book at my house the other day, but I wasn't sure if it was important or not…" Iruka paused, putting on a totally fake pensive expression. "Now…did I throw that out…?"

Kakashi's eye widened if possible, wider.

"Or did I put it somewhere to return to you…Ah, I'm not sure. But, maybe if you take my class tomorrow, I might have a chance to look around for it…"

The man nodded slightly…

"Ah, yes! Thank you, Kakashi-san…" Iruka smirked. "Don't be late, eh?"

And with that he went home to one of the best sleeps he had in weeks.

Right before he fell asleep…

"Kakashi is NEVER going to get that book back."
